Needle Biopsy of Abdominal or Retroperitoneal Mass

Michigan rates for HCPCS 49180

A provider inserts a needle through the skin to obtain a small tissue sample from a mass located in the abdomen or the space behind the abdominal cavity, without open surgery. The sample is then examined under a microscope to help determine what the mass is. Imaging such as ultrasound or CT is often used alongside this procedure to guide the needle to the right spot.
